Water: The Forgotten Biological Molecule

"This book offers refreshing new insights into a fundamental problem in biology at the beginning of the 21st century: ‘How does the intricate dance between macromolecules and water molecules control fundamentally important biological processes?’ Lacking basic theoretical understanding at the molecular level, we resort to empirical relationships with limited ability to predict future outcomes in biology, biotechnology, and medicine. The volume pushes the frontier using experimental insights gained from the most recent advances in technology to narrow the search." - Dr. Gary Fullerton, University of Colorado Denver, USA "This book courageously confronts the heart of natural science through water, clarifying this mysterious and attractive molecule’s role in life through a trans-disciplinary approach. It will no doubt be the first light of dawn for a new physiology and brain science." - Dr. Hideaki Koizumi, Fellow, Hitachi, Ltd., Japan
